Secret Societies and Power

🔍The Illuminati, founded in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt, originally aimed to overthrow monarchies and religious control, but now fuels conspiracy theories about controlling world governments and pop culture.

🤝Freemasons, a global fraternity focused on charity and moral uprightness, requires invitation, commitment to community, and belief in a higher power for membership.

🏨The Bilderberg Group, an invite-only conference of high-profile figures since 1954, discusses global issues privately, sparking theories about their influence on oil prices, wars, and tech innovations.

Religious Organizations

✝️Opus Dei, a conservative Catholic organization founded in 1928, emphasizes integrating faith into daily work and requires serious spiritual commitments, including celibate, gender-segregated living for some members.

⚔️The Knights Templar, a religious military order from 1119, protected pilgrims but faced accusations of heresy and occult practices, leading to their downfall and enduring mystique in modern conspiracy theories.
